This is the second part of my post about our Christmas tree themed Christmas from last year. Last week I shared all the details about the food and today I’m sharing the table setting details. One of the fun things I like to do each year, is to make a special little present to put on the Christmas table for each person. For each of the female guests, I made the trees pictured above from vintage napkins I found in an op shop and cinnamon sticks.
For the boys I made cars in jars parked in the snow with mini Christmas trees strapped to the roof (pictured above). These were easy to make and a lot of fun to put together. The link to the tutorial I used is here. The men received some “Christmas tree” chocolate from Cadbury wrapped in Christmas tree paper with a sprig of fresh pine and a Christmas bell on top.
We managed to find some Christmas tree serviettes and I made little individual Christmas trees from old corks and rosemary sprigs to place at each table setting. The tutorial for making these is here.
Even the crackers had Christmas trees on them! For the table centrepiece I filled one of Mum’s old wooden boxes with some freshly cut conifer and some white pillar candles. It all looked stunning and my little nephews loved the cars in jars! I’ll leave you with a photo of my cute nephew impatiently waiting for all the festivities to start!
More Christmas decorating ideas coming next week!
